339: A Bridge & Tunnel Too Far

Our esteemed colleague, "Pot Ledom"-ologist, and Long Island native Dan Rogge returns to analyze Edward Burns's thoroughly mediocre Bridge & Tunnel, about the post-college lives and loves of six suspiciously hot high-school friends...none of whom can seem to master the accent. A huge music budget (and equally large commitment to the sex scenes) can't make up for stilted dialogue, anachronistic argot, and Burns's Lena Dunham-esque estrangement from the real-world problems of his characters. We went Around The Dial with Perfect Life, Walker, an America's Next Top Model book, Everwood, and 9-1-1 Lone Star before contemplating our ideal 2024 presidential tickets in an Extra Credit, and then Dan proposed burning down Riverdale's fourth-season musical episode "Wicked Little Town" in his Nonac presentation. Jane Lynch won, Seventeen lost, and none of us had perfect 2020 vision in a mash-up Game Time from Dan Cassino. Chuck that EZ-Pass tag out the window: it's an all-new Extra Hot Great.GUESTS👤 Dan RoggeTOPICSLead Topic: 🌉 Bridge & Tunnel Around The Dial: 🌈 Perfect Life Around The Dial: 🤠 Walker Around The Dial: 👠 America's Next Top Model Around The Dial: 🪵 Everwood Around The Dial: 🧑‍🚒 9-1-1: Lone Star Extra Credit: 🤑 Commander On ScreenThe Nonac: 🦦 Riverdale S04.E17: Wicked Little TownWinner & Loser: 👍 The Weakest Link Winner & Loser: 👎 Seventeen MagazineGame Time: 🧠 2020 Double VisionNOTES🗒 Full episode notes can be found on the episode 339 page on ExtraHotGreat.com🫥 Dan recommends Emily VanDerWerff on The Leftovers📰 Tara's Sassy piece in the New York Times Magazine💄 The Listen To Sassy podcast🎧 The Quaid In Full podcast🗽 The Great American Pop Culture Quiz Show podcast📸 Photo: Epix
